Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 309 Forcing the Palace
"My lord, the Longevity Pill is the most precious treasure in the world, and even Shen spent half his life cultivating only two pills. It's just that this kind of longevity pill should not be taken more than half a year. I have written down the time and precautions for the next medicine in detail."

"Is the Taoist priest leaving?" The emperor sat behind the gauze curtain and breathed a little weakly.

"Your Majesty's body will surely return to health as long as it is recuperated properly. I will travel all over the world again to find treasures of heaven and earth for your Majesty, and then refine longevity pills."

"Go to the House of Internal Affairs to pay the money for emergencies." Just as the emperor finished speaking, a voice came in, loud and clear, "Father Emperor!"

"His Royal Highness." The palace servant knelt down to pay his respects.

"Why is Chengqian here?" Perhaps because of excitement, the emperor's voice was breathless, and then he coughed again and again.

"Royal father, such a person who deceives people with lies should be killed instead of rewarded. He lied to royal father that he would make you live a long life, but everyone knows that this is a scam at all. My son has already put the perpetrator on the throne of the king's palace. The crown prince has arrested him. According to his confession, he picked up this monster in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and later listened to other people's nonsense, and insisted on boasting this monster as a fairy."

"And the Longevity Pill he mentioned is simply an ordinary tonic. Father, Duan Shizi's testimony is here, you must not be mistaken for slander." The crown prince took out the testimony from his sleeve, and the palace servants at the side quickly took it over and handed it over to the emperor.

The emperor took it and slapped the testimony to the ground. Through the gauze curtain, his gaze made the prince tremble. He gritted his teeth, lifted his clothes and knelt down and said, "Father, my son is loyal, but my son is just I don't want my father to be deceived by others."

"I think you don't want me to block your way."

The prince looked around and said in a low voice: "Father, my son absolutely has no such intention."

"Chengqian, you have been the prince for more than ten years, but you still don't understand that the royal court and imperial power in the Khmer Kingdom have reached a dead end. If you don't make changes, sooner or later there will be changes."

"Father, the Mu family's imperial power has been in this generation for more than a hundred years, and there has never been a problem. Father, do you believe that the son has the ability to continue the Mu family for another hundred years?"

"Then I'm here to ask you, how many princes and nobles are there in the entire Yancheng and even the entire Khmer? How much salary do they spend every year? How much contribution have they made to Khmer?"

"Father, my son is dull. My son only knows that the Mu family must not have civil strife, and cannot change. After the ancestral system is like this, it should be like this."

"Confused!" Cough cough, after the emperor scolded, he coughed again, "Go back to the East Palace and contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors, and you are not allowed to take half a step out of the East Palace without my permission."

"Father, you want to punish my son to shut the door and think about his mistakes, and he must abide by it, but first let him kill a demon Taoist." The prince suddenly stood up and waved his hands left and right, "Arrest this Taoist priest who is bewitching the crowd! "

"you dare!"

"Father! My son will never allow such monsters to appear in front of Father again."

Four guards walked out from behind the left and right curtains, and they were about to grab the Taoist priest with one step forward. The emperor sneered, "Sure enough, he is my good son. Today is probably the only time you have resisted me in half your life. I didn't expect that you would quietly There are so many arrangements. What do you want to do? Forcing the palace?"

"I don't dare, I'm just on the side of the Qing emperor." Mu Chengqian lowered his head and straightened his back.

"Mr. Qing's side? You still know that I am the emperor. If you withdraw your people, I will never blame you." The emperor sat up straight behind the gauze curtain, and the father and son looked at each other through a thin layer of gauze curtain. Mu Chengqian suddenly He knelt down on both knees, knocked his head three times earnestly, and then stood up.

"Father, you forced me to do this." He raised his hand and said in a clear voice, "The demon way confuses the lord, causing His Majesty to be sick and bedridden. Today, the crown prince takes the side of Emperor Qianqing, kills the demon way, and obeys God's will." .”

The gate of the palace opened and a group of royal guards rushed in.

Fluttering, the birds on the palace wall spread their wings and circled from above to fly high. The sixth prince stood at the gate of the palace and looked up. The sky has changed.

Prince Mu Chengqian's originally determined imperial army turned against him. The emperor took down the entire East Palace almost without bloodshed. The merchants who tried to catch up with the prince to get a share of the imperial power were all implicated.

The dissatisfaction and grievances accumulated by the emperor for decades suddenly found a place to be used, and the participants who forced the palace this time were severely and severely punished. Those who were serious were beheaded all over the house, and those who were light were fined and their property was confiscated and expelled from Yancheng.

In less than half a month, more than half of Yancheng's aristocratic family was wiped out, the original tall gate building became empty, and the extremely imposing gate was affixed with the seal of the Ministry of Punishment.

Every day, some people were beheaded, some people cried and wailed, and some people were driven out of Yancheng with their luggage.Blood energy filled the sky above Yancheng for several days. After a rain, the streets were cold and lonely, and people were panicked.

However, there are also newly rising aristocratic families, such as Duan Shizi of Prince Ping's Mansion who was devastated and finally rescued. He was named King Ping by the emperor and ranked as a second-class duke.

The sixth prince stood out among the many princes, and was appointed as the new prince to oversee the country at the same time, and began to handle government affairs.

"Sixth Prince, no, it's time to call you Prince." Qian Miansheng saluted respectfully.

"Although I got what I wanted now, every time I think of the blood floating above Yancheng, I still have lingering fears in my heart."

"You don't have to be restless. The Holy Majesty has been wanting to clean up the family and the Mu family's redundancy for a long time. We just speeded up the process and gave the Holy Majesty a reason to do so. The right time, place and people are available, so we can do it so quickly. solve the problem."

"I know. I went to see my elder brother who was under house arrest yesterday. He seemed to have figured it out after being locked up for a few days. He didn't react too violently, so he accepted his fate."

"That's good." When Qian Miansheng dealt with Mr. Qianye, he learned that the prince would not accept his fate so quickly, unless the emperor or the sixth prince who became the emperor, was more ruthless and completely wiped out the prince's remnants, otherwise he would sooner or later It will come out one day.

"Is there still no news from Miss Su?"

"No. She probably left Khmer."

"But I heard people say that when the former prince forced the palace, the Taoist priest who was captured and killed by him was actually a woman." After he finished speaking, he denied himself: "I sent someone to investigate, and no one can prove this, and Even the body of the Taoist priest was never found."

"No, in this battle, all of us will die, but she won't." Qian Miansheng didn't know why she was so sure. After all, she helped to toss the Khmer Kingdom and turned Yancheng upside down. There are things that haven't been done, so she won't just die like this?
